Alpha Χi Delta

Alpha Xi Delta was colonized from Beta Chi Omega, a successful local sorority whohad a long-term affiliation with one of the original fraternities on campus.

Beta Chi Omega was born from the Little Sister organization of the Pi Kappa Phi fraternity. Starting in the 1960's Little Sister programs became commonplace for many fraternities nationwide. These affilitate groups contributed financially toward the social expenses of the fraternities. When the national fraternities began disolving these groups in the 1980's, many of the better organized programs successfully transitioned into sororities.

Beta Chi Omega was formed on October 1, 1985 with 15 members and in a short period of time they were having discussions with several highly regarded national sororities. In April of 1986 they colonized with Alpha Xi Delta and began the difficult process of obtaining a charter.

On March 28th, 1987, they reached their goal when 35 women were initiated as the Zeta Chi Chapter of Alpha Xi Delta. They continued to build on their solid reputation by being recognized for their many academic and service achievements.
